Southern Charm’s Austen Kroll Apologizes for ‘Slut-Shaming’ Olivia Flowers

The Southern Charm cast collectively has a lot of troubles, but Austen Kroll certainly might lead the way when it comes to relationship issues. And with this crew, that’s saying something. He can’t keep a woman, mainly because he isn’t bogged down by monogamy, but it also seems like he might prefer his ex-girlfriends to pine for him.

Austen and co-star Olivia Flowers had a brief relationship. In the beginning, he was still obsessed with Madison LeCroy. As we’re seeing in Season 9, the end has him fooling around with Oliva’s best friend.

After that mess, Olivia has been toying with the idea of dating again but doesn’t want to be tied down. But her new single life might be too much for Austen to handle. He felt the need to slut-shame her instead of acting like an adult. Now Austen apologizes, but is it too little too late?

The Sandoval Sighting

When you have a network that employs youthful, attractive people on television shows where debauchery is encouraged, when they all get together in one space, things might happen.

Some of the Charleston group mixed with the West Hollywood group and that’s just the way the cookie crumbles in Sin City. One night Olivia found herself hanging out with Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval. But it’s not what you think.

The evening in question was brought up during the BravoCon Southern Charm panel. When answering a fan who brought up the sighting, Olivia began, “I knew that question was gonna come around.”

She added, “We went to Paige [DeSorbo]’s birthday and just ended up leaving at the same time.” To Olivia’s credit, she knew she was clocked. “I remember just walking through the casino and I heard ‘That’s Olivia and Sandoval,’ and I was like…s—t.” Olivia made sure to note nothing weird happened with Tom and, “We just left at the same time. I’m a big Ariana [Madix] fan.”

After explaining herself, Austen took a moment to apologize for getting out of pocket when Olivia smooched a baseball player in the midst of hanging with Rod Razavi.

“I never meant it to come across that way, and I would never intend to slut-shame you, Olivia,” Austen said. He continued, “That was not my intention whatsoever. I thought I was kind of, in the moment, being like, ‘She’s seeing someone else.’ I didn’t mean for it to be that way, and I guess that’s tone-deaf on my part. And that’s my bad.”

And while Olivia is supposed to be cross with Austen for hooking up with Taylor Ann Green, now we find out she left her bra at his house. But you know, nothing happened. Austen said to Rod, “Nothing happened. We cuddled a little bit. She kissed me right on the chest and she f—ing left.” Sure, Jan.

Southern Charm airs on Thursdays at 9 PM/ET on Bravo.
